I'm new to linux for the most part, but I generally catch on pretty quick when it comes to technology. I've installed the KDE version of Saybayon and have run into a couple of problems right off the bat:

The first problem is that I cannot update entropy, whenever I try to it lists 2 missing dependencies, I have tried through sulfur and the terminal. Here is what the terminal says when I try to update entropy..

I've looked around, but I haven't found a solution that really works for me, any help would be greatly appreciated.

The other problem that I have is that I'm using a 42" hdtv as my monitor, and have it hooked up through hdmi. The problem there is that my (admittedly cheap) hdtv has a LOT of overscan when hooked up through any digital connection (dvi or hdmi) so I cannot see the edges of my desktop. I know how to fix this BUT.. whenever I try to access Ati's Catalyst Control Center to change the resolution from 1920x1080 to 1776x1000 (the workaround that I found for my windoze install) a box pops up that says this -- "To make changes on this page, administrator access is required. Re-launch ATI Catalyst Control Center (super-user) and enter the adminstator(sic) password." Being new to linux, I don't know how to open the program as admin (super-user?) so I can't change my desktop rez, so all I can do is hope I don't minimize anything and use alt-f1 to open the start menu because the taskbar and about 3/4" all around the edges of the screen are missing...

On a side note, I downloaded the installation .iso from a torrent, and I'm always paranoid that a few of the 1000's of packages that I downloaded are going to get corrupted and lead to software glitches (like the dependencies missing)... not sure if that's just me not trusting the torrent format or if that could have actually happened in this case.

Thanks in advance, and I apologize if the solutions to these problems have already been posted somewhere.

Hi, many have this same problem right now...not a big deal, if you know how to fix Think it is because we are in between release cycles and is a big jump from your current 99.38 entropy version to the current 99.46.3either way, open a root terminal type "su" hit enter give your password and hit enter again.

type "equo update" when finishedequo install equo entropy --no deps

This last command will install entropy with no deps a --relaxed command may work as well, I see no problem with the first command and would like to be corrected if I am wrong...has worked fine for me.

then run equo conf updateAt this point, may not be needed, I like to start over with equo updateequo install equo entropyyou should be good to go withequo upgrade
